[quote=Anonymous]This is hard to accept, but thinner Europeans eat less, and less than you think that “eating less” really means. Americans are especially accustomed to the idea of always eating until they are full. The reality is you are not supposed to feel full all the time, you are supposed to leave room for digestion. Being full is actually really bad. When you eat, you are supposed to feel energized and at best, satisfied, like you could have a little more but realize you don’t need to. You are not supposed to feel sluggish and heavy and tired after eating.

Europeans typically only have one heavy meal (that includes meat and carbs) and two very light meals, one of which would be coffee or tea and the other, a salad.

American snacks are heavier to European light meals and that’s in addition to three heavy meals that make you feel full. This and the lack of exercise means not only being overweight, but normalizing being overweight, since three filling meals every day is “normal.”[/quote]
